I Looked At The Answers You Wrote On Your Hand

When They Were Asking You About The Man

That You'd Like To Meet And Drop Everything To Run To



I Don't Mean To Brag And I Don't Mean To Boast

But I Would Like To Think I've Got Most

Of The Qualities On Your List, So I Thought I'd Introduce Myself To You



Your Pouting Blue Eyes They Make Contact With Mine

And They Keep Looking Through Me Until They're Behind Me

And Staring At The Face Of A Man That You Know That I Know That You Know Could Only Bring Bad News



You Hate To Be Rude But You Really Must Go

Leaving Me To Wonder If I'll Know

The Words That I Say That Give Me Away

As Being Unworthy Of You Every Time



And If He's The One That You Want To Go To Bed With

And I'm The One You Want To Wake Up To

I Can Put Myself On Acetate And Make It Easier For You



Forget What They Tell You, The Evenings Are Yours

The Supplicating Men Become Whores

And We're Lined Up Like Chances, And All That You Need Do Is Take One



But Your Look Says It Clearly, You Think Me A Toy

If You Were In The Market For A Boy

You Would Find Yourself A Man And A Mattress And Make One



But I Would Have To Suppose That That's The Way Life Goes

When The Gardener Decides To Fall In Love With The Rose

I'll Protect You From Insects But I Won't Presume To Inhale You



For Whatever The Reason You're Out Of My League

Pursuing Only Leads To Fatigue

So I Will Take My Leave And My Heart From My Sleeve

And I'll See You Whenever I See You Again



And If He's The One That You Want To Go To Bed With

And I'm The One You Want To Wake Up To

I Can Put Myself On Acetate And Make It Easier For You

To Take Me With You When You Go

And Tell Me Things I Shouldn't Know

And Be The Girl I Thought I'd Finally Found A Thousand Times Before

To Keep On Trying For
